Ndumbai is among 47 suspects facing corruption and fraud charges in connection to the ongoing probe into the alleged KSh 9 billion NYS heist.

He was picked up from his house a few hours after the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution (ODPP) confirmed it had received 10 files from the Directorate of Criminal Investigation linking him to economic crimes.

Together with the Youth and Devolution Principal Secretary Lillian Omollo, they were locked up in remand for 22 days.
